Unicable lnb on motorized dish

[mouadhada]

Hello,

I have a dreambox 920 UHD with a FBC tuner, lnb cable and disceq motor. DreamOs images manage this composition very well, because we see on it one tuner with all unicable frequencies.

Openvix gives good parameters to manage virtual tuners because we can select to which physical tuner a virtual tuner is connected.

Howerver, openvix manage this composition on a wrong way. Let give a exemple :

Tuner A : astra and hotbird, SCR 1, disceq 1.2

Tuner B : nothing (physical)

Tuner C : connected to tuner A. Astra and hotbird SCR 2, disceq : none.


Let assume that the initial motor position is astra. I can see two channels in astra without any problem.

Then let go to hotbird, it select tuner A and motor goes to hotbird and I see my selected channel. Now if I zap back to an astra channel it select tuner C. As there is no disceq order sent to move the dish back to astra I can see nothing !

It is possible to fix this on next releases ?
NB : Test are done with openvix version 6.8.0001

How can you manage to have 3 tuners??? An FBC is usually a twin ie 2 cables Tuner A tuner B, have you another slot with a single FBC tuner??

Why are you using a unicable and you should say the make and model of the unicable??? Unicable is not designed for motorised. But if it works ok with dream os then stick with that. If it was me I would use a UNICABLE with legacy ports. I have a Dur-sat Dur line uk104 with 3 legacy ports but used static dishes.

Dreambox dm9x0 is not straight forward, @dimitar had to modify the normal code to make it work for these boxes on both legacy and fbc tuners. Unicable is normally fine on these fbc tuners (at least in OpenViX) but not really suitable for motorised inputs on our enigma …..but dreambox as seen previously do things differently.

Let take the case of gigabue fbc, I guess it is possible to configure an Unicable lnb within a motor, right ?

Yes, its possible.

There is someone here who can test some cases on gigblue+motor+unicable ?

Checking whats available.
In meantime can you do debug log on dm920 in openvix (menu/setup/system/logs/settings Enable, save to hdd, local time)……and dreamos if possible.

Thread 'Unicable LNBs and motorised dishes'

Aug 3, 2017

A Unicable LNB is a technology which allows multiple users (or multiple tuners) to access satellite broadcasts over a single coaxial cable and eliminates the need for the numerous cables required by a conventional system. In order to satisfy all users of the system the dish must remain permanently orientated to the one satellite that all the users wish to receive programing from. If the dish were to move from its permanent orientation this would disturb the viewing of all users of the system.

A motorised dish, on the other hand, allows a single user to orientate the dish at will and...

a video is possible ?
